Abstract excerpt
Activated protein C (APC) exerts its anticoagulant activity via proteolytic degradation of the heavy chains of activated factor VIII (FVIIIa) and activated factor V (FVa). So far, three APC cleavage sites have been identified in the heavy chain of FVa: Arg-306, Arg-506, and Arg-679. To obtain more insight in the structural and functional implications of each individual cleavage, recombinant factor V (rFV) mutants...
